Just four years earlier, Obama had become the first African American ever to be elected president of the United States, winning the highest amount of votes (69.5 million) by any presidential candidate in history. Despite his historic nature and relative popularity, his margin of victory decreased from 2008. Consequently, Obama became the first incumbent in seven decades to get reelected with fewer electoral votes and a lower popular vote percentage.

Obama lost approximately 3.6 million votes from 2008 to 2012. Romney gained slightly on 2008 candidate John McCain’s 59.9 million.

The takeaway from the 2012 election, as it relates to 2016, is that Barack Obama was a once in a lifetime type of candidate. The first African-American candidate. He was young. He was fresh and his candidacy embodied the sort of ‘change’ that so many dissatisfied American’s felt following a long war in Iraq and the financial collapse of the U.S. housing market.

And despite all that popularity, enthusiasm and African-American turnout, he still only attained 51.1% of the popular vote in 2012.

Hillary Clinton stands no chance of besting the numbers of Barack Obama from 2012. She is far less popular. She has far less charisma. She does not inspire enthusiasm, and she comes with a lifetime of corrupt decisions and illegal behavior.

Primary Changes by the Numbers

In 2008, the last time the Democrats did not have an incumbent on the ticket, they had approximately 38 million Primary voters. In 2016, that number slipped to approximately 30 million. A loss of 8 million primary voters.

In 2008, Republicans had 21 million primary voters. In 2012, the number slipped to 19 million. In 2016 however, the GOP had over 30 million primary voters – approximately 9-10 million more than 2008.

That is a change of approximately 17-18 million voters in favor of the GOP.

John McCain lost by 10 million votes.

Mitt Romney lost by 5 million votes.

And since 2008, the Democrats have lost 8 million primary voters while the GOP has gained about 10 million.

Donald Trump the Rock Star

Trump is the most popular and captivating candidate the party has nominated since Ronald Reagan. A successful businessman, Trump has been in the world spotlight for years and became a household name over the past decade with a successful reality TV show on NBC, ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.

His name adorns buildings, casinos and resorts all over the world.

Everywhere he has gone, for over a year now, throngs of fans and voters stand in lines thousands deep and hours long. In early August, in a Daytona Beach arena, Trump drew 8,000 screaming fans, while Hillary could only muster a few hundred the same day at a high school gym in Colorado. Later that night, in Jacksonville, Trump drew 15,000 people. This is a normal occurrence on the campaign trail.

Again, Hillary inspires no confidence in voters. Donald Trump has to turn away far more fans that Clinton can even draw at a campaign event. This is meaningful as it relates to who actually will make an effort to vote.

To prove how far his national appeal is, Trump won big in every region of the map: Northeast, Southeast, South, Midwest, Rust Belt, Northwest, West and Southwest. He won more primary votes than any candidate in the history of the party, and he did so with 17 candidates running.

He won a landslide primary, in a year in which three very popular elected officials from the big states of Texas, Florida and Ohio were running against him. That alone made it impossible for almost any candidate besides Ted Cruz in Texas, Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio in Florida and John Kasich in Ohio, to win. Not only did Trump win, but did so with ease.

The Democrats’ Minority Problem

One myth among the typical media narrative is that Republicans have a minority voter problem. In reality, it’s the Democrats that do. In 2012, when Barack Obama won only 51% of the vote, it took him winning the black vote 93-6, and it also required historically high turnout from that group.

Hillary, at minimum, needs to match Obama’s 93-6 margin with black voters, and needs every single black voter that turned out in 2012. That isn’t going to happen. She may achieve the margin. She won’t come close to getting the same turnout.

The Democrats have an electoral problem, in that they need 95% of the black vote, with large turnout, just to win a general election.

Not only is a problem today, but it’s a far bigger problem for them in the future. As groups of a demographic grow in size, they also become more diverse. The chances are that Blacks will vote less and less for Democrat in the future, as they grow in size and diversify from evolution.

The GOP has been Destroying Democrats in elections since 2009

When it comes to elections, the GOP has been faring better against Democrats over the last 7 years, than they ever have previously. In 2010, the GOP took back the House of Representatives with a 63-seat pickup, and also grabbed control of 29 of 50 governorships and gained 690 seats in state legislatures.

Then in 2014, The Republicans won 16 seats from Democrats, while only three Republican-held seats turned Democratic. The Republicans achieved their largest majority in the House since 1928. Combined with the Republican gains made in 2010, the total number of Democratic-held House seats lost under Barack Obama’s presidency in midterm elections rose to 77 with the 2014 midterms.

Other than Barack Obama’s unimpressive reelection against Mitt Romney in 2012, the Democrats have been losing every type of election imaginable to Republicans.

The Variable Factors

Hillary Clinton is also on the losing end of almost all variables that play in elections.

She is the incumbent party seeking a third consecutive term, which is rarely a good thing

The Economy is not producing with 90 million unemployed Americans and only 1.2 % growth.

ISIS and Terrorism is striking all over the western world and within the United States borders. The Democrats refuse to even say the phrase “Islamic Terrorism.”

Nearly 80% of the country thinks the United States is going in the wrong direction and Hillary Clinton has been directly involved in government for the last 25 years. In these times, experience is not a good thing.

Trump is unabashedly pro-American while the Democrats give off a perception that they are embarrassed by being associated as an American.

Trump has taken strong positions on two issues that are driving massive new voters to him: Immigration and Free Trade. Both of these issues hit right at the heart of the forgotten middle class, that has seen their jobs traded away oversees by their own elected officials.

Over the past 70 or so years, typically the more physically overpowering ticket wins. Trump/Pence or Clinton/Kaine? Who seems tougher to you?

Her husband Bill Clinton never received even half of the vote during his two Electoral College victories in 1992 and 1996. The Clintons are not as popular as the media would have you believe.

Hillary doesn’t have the heart of her party’s voters. Bernie Sanders did. And unfortunately for the Democrats, the heart of their party’s voters lost.

Trump, on the hand, is the heart of the party and beat the powerful interests groups trying to steal it from him and his record setting amount of voters.

The Secret-Trump Vote

Don’t even bother looking at a poll. If they were any accurate or valuable at predicting, then the people who ran them would be billionaires.

As we learned from the DNC-WikiLeaks scandal, the Democratic Party and Mainstream Media manipulate polls for nothing other than headlines and talking points, meant to drive narratives and suppress Republican turnout.

Instead, think of the facts.

In 2012, the voting age population was 235 million, but only 129 million voted.

Both parties left a possible 106 million votes on the table.

Because of Donald Trump’s candidacy, all the rules have been thrown out. We’ve seen that few of the old political playbook tricks work against him. Money being spent by his opponents have all gone to waste.

We saw every single professional political pundit in the country get the entire primary season wrong – on both sides.

The media and their phony polling consultants don’t have any clue what turnout will look like. If they did, they wouldn’t have bungled their Trump and Clinton predictions so badly in the primaries.

What we do know is that Trump is attracting voters from all over the map and into the Republican fold, just to vote for him. It’s how he unexpectedly massacred 16 opponents in the primary.

It’s how he will massacre Hillary Clinton in the general election.

When the media tells you that this race is close or that Hillary is leading, just simply laugh it all off.

This election is already over and Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States.

Comments

Ignore the biased polls. Compare the attendance at Trump’s rallies with Hillary’s rallies. Trump gets 10,000 to 15,000. Hillary gets 17 to 42. That’s the real poll. That indicates who will turn out to vote.

Trump’s biggest problem is not himself. Here are his problems (don’t be one of them):

Cruz and the Republican elite do not support Trump. They prefer Hillary because under Trump they would lose their control of the Republican Party. They are part of the problem.

Thomas Sowell is supposed to be smart and conservative. But he complains about Trump. Sowell won’t tell you the bigger problem is Hillary. Sowell won’t tell you to vote for Trump to solve the bigger problem. So Sowell is part of the problem.

Far right evangelical pastors like Chuck Baldwin preach Hillary is bad. They identify the Hillary problem but then they short circuit. They won’t tell you to vote for Trump to solve the problem. So they are part of the problem.

Cruz told you to “vote your conscience.” That is wrong because you may consider both candidates “not good enough for you” and vote third party. That does not solve the problem.

Vote your intelligence, not your conscience. If you claim to be a conservative, or Republican, or Constitutionalist then you must admit Trump is better than Hillary. Therefore, you must vote for Trump to help him beat Hillary. Or else you are part of the problem.

Don’t micromanage Trump. No one can. And neither can the opposition. So that is good. Look at the big picture. Trump will be the best CEO ever to manage America. Choose your leader and let him do his job.

If you claim to be a conservative or a Republican or a Constitutionalist, stop criticizing Donald Trump. The primary is over. Trump is the only solution. Help him win.

Phillip Charles did not go into details about Hillary because that was not the subject of his article. His article is about predicting who will win the presidency in November. His article hangs on numbers and demographics, not about who we like or why.

Since you did not address the subject of his article, I assume you agree with his thesis.

But to respond to your question, there are many places where we can find details about Hillary’s “lifetime of corrupt decisions and illegal behavior.” Here, I will quote from Trump’s acceptance speech. Numbers are references.

America is far less safe – and the world is far less stable – than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of America’s foreign policy. I am certain it is a decision he truly regrets. 78 79

Her bad instincts and her bad judgement – something pointed out by Bernie Sanders – are what caused so many of the disasters unfolding today. 80 81

Let’s review the record.

In 2009, pre-Hillary, ISIS was not even on the map. Libya was stable. Egypt was peaceful. Iraq was seeing a reduction in violence. Iran was being choked by sanctions. Syria was under control.

After four years of Hillary Clinton, what do we have?

ISIS has spread across the region, and the world. 82 83 84

Libya is in ruins, and our Ambassador and his staff were left helpless to die at the hands of savage killers. 85 86 87 88

Egypt was turned over to the radical Muslim brotherhood, forcing the military to retake control. 89 90

Iraq is in chaos. 91

Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons. 92 93

Syria is engulfed in a civil war and a refugee crisis that now threatens the West. 94 95 96

After fifteen years of wars in the Middle East, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before. 97 98 99 100

This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction, terrorism and weakness. 101 102 103

I was not a Trump supporter for various reasons. The person that I did want to get the nomination, Dr. Ben Carson, was unable to do so because of various factors, one being the press shortchanged him at every opportunity. When it became obvious that he would not win the nomination, the good Dr. did the right thing and supported the nominee, Donald Trump. I now support Donald Trump mainly because he took the same stand that Dr. Carson had expressed against Muslims when he said he “would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.”
“I would have problems with somebody who embraced all the doctrines associated with Islam,” Carson said. “If they are not willing to reject sharia and all the portions of it that are talked about in the Quran — if they are not willing to reject that, and subject that to American values and the Constitution, then of course, I would.”

I became a Trump supporter when he made his views on Islamic emigration well known. What most do not know and especially if they are far left, open boarder fools like Hillary and her ex-boss, Obama are is that to let these kinds of people who are adherents to this cult called Islam is against established United States law.

“The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House. Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any “organization” that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited.”

“U.S. Code § 1182 – Inadmissible aliens
(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

It is not strange that when the Bosnia and Herzegovina war was over & this was a war where the Muslim world did nothing to try to assist their brothers in the cult, all of the orphans from that war were taken in by Christian groups and cared for while the Muslims did nothing to help. To that point, I now see that six of the Bosnians that had emigrated to the U.S. are now trying to aid ISIS in Syria, talk about lacking any gratitude or we could carry this over to the Boston bombers who had lived in the US long enough to understand that it was a nation of principle and good will but that did not prevent them from indiscriminately destroying innocent people’s lives. Almost all of these orphans from this war were adopted by the Christians that the far left wants to demonize.

“According to the Sharee’ah (Islamic law), there is no legal adoption. It is prohibited for a person to legally adopt a son or a daughter of whom he is not the biological father.”http://www.islamweb.net/en/article/135420/

We are left to wonder why the invaders into Europe &, if Hillary and Obama have their way, into the US, do not go to the rich Arab countries in the immediate area & what follows demonstrates many facts about this cult called Islam.

“Govt bans Saudis from adopting Syria orphans”
JEDDAH: Friday 23 January 2015
The Ministry of Social Affairs has banned Saudi families from adopting Syrian or other foreign children.
“The ministry does not sponsor Arab children who lost their parents in conflicts, such as in Syria and Iraq. There are global humanitarian organizations that deal with these cases,” said Latifah Al-Tamimi, director of social supervision at the ministry in the Eastern Province.”http://www.arabnews.com/featured/news/693726
Hijrah is another part of this cult that Europe and now America do not know about; but, are now seeing the direct results of what it will do, tear the heart and soul out of the nation where these animals have been allowed settle and where they will not and do not make any effort to assimilate to the culture of the land that offered a helping hand during their time of need.

Hijrah is jihad by emigration. It means moving to a new land in order to bring Islam there and is considered in Islam to be a holy and revered action. “And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance, and whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah.” (4:100) http://quran.com/4/100
